Sample product titles and styles will be analysed in groups. The style and
impact of the title emphasised.
N.
Pupils will measure the height and width of the titles and individual
letters. The ratio of the title to the size of the package will also be
worked out.
ICT.
One idea can be produced using a computer generated font.
HWK.
Complete the four ideas and present them graphically. |
Cut
out and present a number of exiting product titles. Add notes giving your
views on each. |
Internet access to technology website. ICT Access with DTP software.
Drawing and writing equipment. |

Stage Five: The pupils will collect examples of existing packaging
and the class will produce a research sheet on printing styles, colours, and
the detailed information they include. The pupils will list what they
